Should I be peeling? Vivier chemical peel

Question

Got a peel on Saturday (today is monday) and I've noticed my skin feeling tight (a dry tight) but no flaking or peeling. I look tanned too. avoiding direct sun and wearing sunscreen with spf 30. The medical esthetician said i would see flaking or peeling and not touch it. I havent noticed anything of the sort. very worried about hyperpigmentation because I am olive skinned. Do I have anything to worry about? Received a vivier skin peel with 2% salicylic acid 10% lactic acid and 14% Resorcinol:

Hello Skinlover90,
Everyone reacts differently to different grades of chemical percentiles. If you regularly exfoliate you may not have a lot of dead skin cells on the surface of your skin to remove which may cause you to notice not much peeling. The active ingredients will still penetrate and work on the cellular level of the skin. You can most likely move on to something a little more stronger where you will notice more peeling.
